Form & Verdict
Thought to be unsuited by soft ground, which was blamed for his pulled-up run two starts ago, so it was to his credit that he overcame those ground conditions to break his duck here (2m3f) 11 days ago; back up 3lb and it seems very likely he'll do better on good ground; cheekpieces added.

Won twice around Fontwell (2m3f/2m2f) during this month last year and well treated on all that; didn't appear to see out 3m last time at Kempton and the return of cheekpieces is a likely positive; goes on good ground; hard to dismiss.

Form & Verdict
Good second to smart one in sole Irish point; definite promise over hurdles and fences in Britain, even though he faded at about 2m4f in two handicap chases (good to soft and heavy); travels strongly so the drop in trip may well suit; interesting on first run since wind surgery.

Progressive in handicap chases last spring for Warren Greatrex (2m2f/2m3f, good/soft) and last month's third on stable debut in a hunter chase at Carlisle (2m5f, good to soft), after an absence, can be upgraded as he hung left at that right-handed track; has plenty to find but this 7yo is very lightly raced and, now going left-handed, could go well at sizeable odds.

Low-mileage 7yo who opened account for Warren Greatrex with front-running success in Ffos Las handicap (2m3f, soft) last April; changed hands for £82,000 the following month and now makes his stable/hunter chase debut; could be hard to beat if fully tuned up.

Form & Verdict
Won good-ground maiden hurdle last spring; encouraging chase debut when a persevering runner-up at Southwell (2m4f, good) in November and, although he's been a beaten favourite at about 2m twice since, he's still considered with the likely good ground in his favour.

0-8 over fences for Ben Pauling and seemingly a tricky horse to win with but scores good marks for his consistency and 2m4f on good ground suits him well; sports first-time hood on stable debut (same owners); probably won't be far away.

Form & Verdict
Useful type having been a wide-margin winner twice this winter, over 1m7f at Catterick (good) and Huntingdon (2m, soft); however, he stalled slightly at Uttoxeter in February and it was offputting to see him jump repeatedly left back at Huntingdon since; reservations.

Looked to be rediscovering his level when second at Lingfield (2m4f, good to soft) in December but he failed to build on that in two subsequent starts; weakened on his one go over further than 2m5f when fifth at Fontwell (3m2f, good) in April; risky.

Good-ground hurdle winner off a much higher mark before a big absence; it's been a long road back but he didn't give up the ghost at Lingfield (good to soft) on penultimate start; disappointed over that C&D (soft) last month, though, and needs to prove he can operate on this forecast soft ground.
